PUBLIC SCHOOL ENTERTAIN
MENT.
Another Crowded House-Creditable
Exercises.

house were so well performed that it
is difficult to refer to one as surpass-
ing the other.
The attendance was equally as large
as on the night previous. The recita-
tions, solos and tableaux were all rer-
dered with excellent effect.
The mouth-organ quartette was inn
mense, so to speak, and brought down
the house. There is request for a
repetition of the performance.
The calisthenics by the girls of the
A. 4th grade was extremely fine, and
brought forth expressions of admira-
tion, that would have filled the little
hearts full of joy if they had heard
them. Miss Ella Morton presided at
the piano during this drill, and re-
ceived her share of praise. The
young lady is entitled to congratula-
tions for the care and efficiency inn
parted in the preparation of this piece.
The principle feature of the evening
was the earth Child" in "Fairy
Land by girls of the grammar school.
1t was beautiful, simple and charming.
The young ladies were happy in their
rendition and it was made so real that
one could wish to take real voyage
to Fairy Land by the same route the
girls went in imagination.
Altogether the public schools are
giving the people of Dallas magnlfi-
cent display of our children's talents,
faithfully prepared and carefully di-
rected by Superintendent Stanbery
and his efficient corps of teachers.
A very noticeable feature of the eve-
ming was the entire absence of loud
and vulgarly frequent " cat calls" by
boys. Much credit is due the school
board for their prompt ac-
ton in suppressing the annoyance
which 80 disturbed and interfered
with the performance and pleasure OF
the audience the night before.

as follows, except as regards the order
of exercises, which will be changed :
